Chapter 189 Zhu Yuanzhang is in danger again

Lin Muyu couldn't help but stand up when he heard the discussion of those people, clasped his fists at them, and said, "Brothers, is what you said just now true?"

"Of course it's true. I just came from Jinling, and I saw with my own eyes that the imperial court's [-] troops surrounded Stone City for more than ten days." The black-haired man said immediately.

Lin Muyu hugged him again, without asking any more questions, and then sat down. Zhao Quan also came over from another table and said: "Lin Xiangzhu, this is not true. I heard it when I first came to Yangzhou. said."

Lin Muyu nodded, thinking that he should go to Jinling to see it. He still has a good impression of Zhu Yuanzhang, and he also has a sworn brother Chang Yuchun who is also under Zhu Yuanzhang's command.

Let's say that after Zhu Yuanzhang occupied Stone City, the imperial court did not touch him at first, and Tuotuocao, Ma Ma and Li Xianglei all reported their merits to the imperial court and received credit.

Later, the army of the imperial court fought several battles with Zhang Shicheng, winning and losing. Zhang Shicheng relied on his strong financial resources to bribe the high officials of the imperial court from time to time.

Moreover, Zhang Shicheng feigned surrender several times, but all the high officials of the imperial court received tribute from Zhang Shicheng, and Zhang Shicheng was also bestowed by the imperial court.

Now, the imperial court learned that after Zhu Yuanzhang occupied Stone City, he was afraid of future troubles, so he sent troops to encircle and suppress.

Still Tuotuocao led 4 horses, Li Xianglei led 3 horses, and Ma Mamu also led [-] cavalry, and surrounded Zhu Yuanzhang again.

The last time Zhu Yuanzhang was in Wucheng, it was also a three-way army, but that time, Lin Muyu made an empty plan, and Zhu Yuanzhang went to Stone City smoothly, and finally took Stone City as his base.

But now, the three-way army has come again, and the number of troops has increased several times compared to last time. It can be seen that the court also wants to take Zhu Yuanzhang down in one fell swoop.

Fortunately, the terrain of Stone City is extremely dangerous. It is surrounded by mountains on three sides and has the natural danger of the Yangtze River. The Mongolian army is good at riding and shooting, but the naval army is not.

Moreover, the only two naval forces of the imperial court are fighting against Chen Youliang in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River. Chen Youliang's naval forces are very powerful, but the imperial navy's naval forces are not his opponents. They are defeated every time. Chen Youliang now has more than 100 warships alone Only, and a few huge ships.

The arrival of Tuotiao, Li Xianglei and Ma Nu's three-way army really shocked Zhu Yuanzhang. So many soldiers and horses came to besiege an isolated city, which really made him terrified.

The last time Lin Muyu and Lin Shiying were there, Zhu Yuanzhang was not so anxious, but now he is really anxious.

Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang also sent people to ask for help from various volunteers, but he did not get a response. He and Zhang Shicheng were the closest, so he sent several times to Zhang Shicheng for help, but Zhang Shicheng still did not agree to his request.

Now, Zhu Yuanzhang has to convene all the generals to discuss every day. Some people advocate surrender, some people advocate abandoning the city, but no one advocates defending the city, and Zhu Yuanzhang is also difficult to make a decision.

And the imperial court's three-way army attacked the city from time to time. Although the defense of Stone City was relatively strong, it couldn't resist the attacks of so many people.

Zhu Yuanzhang had to go to the city wall to supervise the battle in person. Due to the dangerous terrain of Stone City, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack. As long as the gate tower is defended, other places are easy to defend.

However, many of Zhu Yuanzhang's advisers advocated abandoning the city, just like the original abandonment of Wucheng.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang did not agree. He also knew that last time Lin Muyu was cut off, who will help him cut off this time?

In the end, Zhu Yuanzhang only said one sentence: "If the stone city can't be defended, where else can we go?"

……

……

While eating, Lin Muyu talked about his plan, which is to go to Jinling to observe the military situation and see if Zhu Yuanzhang can hold on.

Now, Lin Muyu and several beauties had finished eating and drinking, so they returned to the inn to rest for the night, then left the city early the next morning and headed straight to Jinling.

It is not far from Yangzhou to Jinling, and with the lightness skills of Lin Muyu and a few beauties, it can take half a day at most.

However, Zhao Quan did not have such good lightness skills, and Lin Muyu was not in a hurry, as long as he arrived at Jinling before dark.

Lin Muyu and his party rode seven horses and ran all the way, attracting the attention of many people. The five beauties such as Lin Shiying and Zhao Zhiruo were too beautiful to be noticed.

They ran all morning and got closer to Jinling City. Lin Muyu decided to find a place to eat first.

Lin Muyu's plan was to enter the city when it was dark. Although he and the five beauties had high lightness kung fu, if it was daytime, they would not be able to fly into the city under the watchful eyes of many officers and soldiers.

If the officers and soldiers found out, each of them could shoot seven of them into a porcupine with an arrow.

Lin Muyu and his party of seven walked forward for a while, and then saw a tavern, which was opened on the side of the road, where both accommodation and meals were provided, and it was specially prepared for passing business travelers.

Lin Muyu went into the tavern with some beauties, Zhao Quan tied the horse to a big tree, the waiter hurriedly stepped forward to greet them to go upstairs, and went to prepare fodder to feed the horse.

After the seven of Lin Muyu went to the restaurant, they just ordered some food and drink. Before eating, Lin Muyu took out a silver needle and tried it to see if the food and drink had been drugged.

After Lin Muyu tried it, there was no problem, so everyone started to eat and drink.

Lin Muyu put away the silver needle, and suddenly remembered that he and Fang Xiaoyu stayed at a roadside shop that year, but they slept until midnight, were drugged, and were almost made into human meat buns.

Therefore, when Lin Muyu travels around the world now, he always has a more cautious mind. Before eating, he always tries to see if there are any poisons. He doesn't sleep when staying. He just practices his internal strength so that he can deal with it in time if something goes wrong.

But now, the time is still early, just at noon, so Lin Muyu called the waiter again and asked, "Brother, how far is it to Jinling?"

"If our guest is riding a horse, it only takes half an hour." The waiter said quickly.

Lin Muyu immediately rewarded the waiter with two taels of silver. The waiter was very happy. He just answered a small question, and he got a reward of two taels of silver. This was the first time he met such a generous guest.

After Lin Muyu and the others finished their meal, they immediately went on the road again, and rode forward for a while, when they heard the sound of the horse neighing in the distance.

Lin Muyu immediately realized that they were very close to Jinling City, so they all tied their horses in the woods by the side of the road, and then climbed to the top of the mountain on foot. Looking down, they found that there were many officers and soldiers densely packed.

Lin Muyu was also surprised to see such officers and soldiers surrounding the city. This was much more than the officers and soldiers he saw on the tower in Wucheng at that time.
